Singer Simon Webbe has become the eighth person to be voted off I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!
Simon, 30, who found fame with the boyband Blue, had become emotional after watching a video greeting from his girlfriend, former X Factor contestant Layla Manoochehri.
He said he felt "relief" at leaving the jungle.
Talking to presenters Ant and Dec after his eviction, he said: "Ever since I was in there I didn't think I'd last this long. I really enjoyed it...but it wasn't what I expected.
"I didn't think I'd snap as much as I did. I'm normally a cool character, I know how to keep my temper in check, but I felt my buttons were being pushed."
He confessed before going on the show that he was "afraid of everything" and was going into the jungle to face his fears.
But after his eviction he said he was still "terrified of spiders" and had not conquered his fear of water.
"The trials were harder than I thought they would be," he said. "The camp's a lot smaller than it looks on TV. You're living on top of each other and that's a pressure cooker in itself."
He backed Wimbledon ace Martina Navratilova or former EastEnders actor Joe Swash to win the show.
